Hey ! What do you think of using Scorching Ray with Cast when Channeling and Firestorm ? Can it deal more damage than pure Scorching Ray ? (after removing Elemental Equilibrium of course)


I doubt it very much. Clear speed could go up. For firestorm to be good single target, u need to use conc eff. If u use conc eff, u loose 1 support for SR. It for sure is still viable and can kill all.

How viable is doing this build as an elementalist instead? I've noticed I barely use any minions besides the golem at all and elementalist seems like it'd be a massive dps increase with the only cost being losing the benefit of offerings on myself?


"Only" is not good word here. It is a huge deal to loose bone offering for tankiness. This is the main reason to go necro. It doesnt matter, that u dont use minions, u dont do this build to use minions.

If u would go elementalist, then u should just go do a different build completely. Like with trickster or guardian for example. Would be much better.


Say I don't care about the block boost from bone offering considering I'm already running the majority of everything I do without it active anyhow? Seriously, I'm having no issues running t14 and 15 maps without bone offering up and my current block chance is 34%. The only time I ever run into issues is just dps for the most part. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds to a minute or two to drop some bosses, maybe even longer in some cases, and that really sucks on some harder modded maps to the point that bone offering up or not I'm usually taking a huge amount of DoT damage that I just can't dodge. It also doesn't seem to do much when I get hit and then insta die anyhow, which is generally weird because all of my ele resists are capped and my effective health pool is 6,614. I don't intend to be running this build through Shaper or Uber Atziri, but I would at the very least like to be able to take down Uber Izaro quicker than I currently do, which takes roughly 3 minutes for me right now.

Dude, i rly dont get, wtf do u want? U follow the build only partially and then complain it doesnt work.

I write in the guide, how important EE is, u dont take it. Some of ur gem setups make 0 sense. Yes, there r unexpected oneshots in PoE, but they r actually very rare. If u would follow the guide u would not "insta" die or have problems with DoTs. I talk about, how good scourge is, u ignore it. I give alternatives for more dps, u ignore it.

I'm all up for changes, i encourage ppl to adapt builds for their needs. But in a way, which makes sense. For example, why the fuck do u run all 3 offerings on CwDT? Like WHY???

I would like to help u, but at least u got to try to use the guide better. Or maybe this build is just not for u?
Thank you for making up my mind about no longer playing this game. I've been having lots of frustrations with how massively elitist and outright unhelpful to noobs or casual players this community is. I literally only wanted to know if switching ascendancies would be a dps increase or not and you attack me for not following the guide 100% without straying a single inch and act like I'm stupid.

Get out of your bubble and stop pretending like people can't enjoy certain builds even if they don't follow it to the letter.

Oooh no, pleaseee dont leaveee!!!11

1st of all, nobody likes to help noobs. Helping noobs is pointless, since they dont read/listen what ppl say to them. They do stupid stuff, u try to point it out and they turn it all around, like u r the pure evil. They then turn around continue doing stupid things without ever learning.

Read carefully and dont put words in my "mouth".

This entire class forums r ppl helping ppl. Ur frustration is clearly ur personal problem and not the community. U should see a specialist about it. This thread alone has pages and pages of me helping others. Only u r that special one.

And i literally answered ur question, going elementalist makes no sense.

I'm not acting like u r stupid, i'm asking u, why u do stupid things. What u do with it, is ur thing. Learn or be noob. I think, u r the one, who is in the bubble. If the wall goes around u, it usually means, u r inside and not outside.

Owned pretty nicely!

Was reading the message and found your answer very decent but to not be a douche here is my comment about the build :P

Pretty tanky with absurd damage coming just from a spell I like it, good job!
Personally i find the damage of scorching ray too ridiculous in the current game iteration but nevertheless good build.

I can change something to be better? Or just I am ready to rekt this monsters?

Depends on which "monsters" u mean and there is always something to change for better :)

For mapping sure, u r sett. For shaper and co, not rly. If u want to look for upgrades, i would start with gloves(very bad), then boots(some resist will give u more freedom for ring and gloves), then ring and ofc a 6L.

So is the PoB Scorching ray DPS (in the beginning of the guide) 8 stages of the skill?

EDIT: also, is it just general DPS, or is it Shaper/Guardians DPS?
Please reply to your whispers for items... Even if you are mapping, in a rotation, in uber lab, or if its sold. Thank you. :D
